A perimeter trail provides walking access to the complete lakeshore, a pleasant walk through pine, spruce and fir. Please keep dogs on a leash, and clean up after your pets. McConnell Lake is near the extensive Stake Lake trail system for hiking and biking, and in winter, cross-country skiing. Just 20 minutes from Kamloops, access is via a paved road from Lac le Jeune Exit on the Coquihalla Highway 5, or from Kamloops on Lac Le Jeune Road. No overnight camping permitted.
